Thousands of music students are looking for private instruction. Because of financial hardship, many schools are cutting back on music programs. But the students are still there with a desire to learn drums. This site is designed to get you together. The student types in their zipcode, and the instructors who have joined in their area will be listed.
You need to be on that list.
It's better to have too many students than not enough.
Rhythms sections, in particular those of John Coltrane and Miles Davis, were also exploring new metric and rhythmic possibilities. The concept of manipulating time, making the music appear to slow down or race ahead, was something that drummers had never attempted previously, but one that was evolving quickly in this era. Layering rhythms on top of each other (a polyrhythm) to create a different texture in the music, as well as using odd combinations of notes to change feeling, would never have been possible with the stiffness of drumming in the previous generation. Compositions from this new period required this greater element of participation and creativity on the part of the drummer.
